Analyst Dileep Byra Trashes Speculations About Pawan Kalyan Supporting Kapus:- Political analysts and businessman Dileep Byra trashed speculations on Pawan Kalyan a confronter of the Kapu community. During a debate on a tv channel, he spoke about Pawan Kalyan's commitment and dedication. "Janasena has been evolving as a major political party in Andhra Pradesh and Pawan has been completely committed to Special Status for AP" said Dileep.
"It is quite unfortunate and a cheap trick to confront the name of Kapus for Pawan Kalyan and his party. Kapus are voting for all the parties and they make 25% of the telugu population. They have been voting for all the parties till date and kapus too can emerge as major gamechangers in politics. Janasena is evolving as a major party in AP and there have been many major developments over these days. As said Pawan is a committed politician and all sections of people are supporting his political journey" said Dileep Byra.

Uddanam Issue Should Be Declared As A Medical Emergency Says Pawan Kalyan:- Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan is touring across Srikakulam and in this process he met the Uddanam kidney victims today and interacted with them. With no talks about politics, Pawan slammed AP Government for ignoring them completely. It has been a year that Pawan submitted a detailed report on Uddanam kidney victims to AP Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu and the AP Government is yet to release funds and set up a dialysis centre. Pawan warned the government that he would go for an indefinite fast if AP Government fails to react in the next two days.
"It is quite unfortunate to see the government ignoring the kidney victims completely. People from seven mandals have been battling for lives and USA doctors during their last visit asked the government to provide the basic infrastructure so that they could treat the victims at free of cost. There is no Health Minister for the state and the victims are left with no choice. Chandra Babu promised to set up health centres in Srikakulam for the victims but not a single penny has been granted till date. I don't know how the government turned out so blind towards Uddanam kidney victims. I am here to start indefinite fast if the AP Government doesn't respond on this issue and announce a new Health Minister in two days" said Pawan Kalyan in his speech.
